OUR STORY

Our Beginning...

In late March of 1993 my husband Taula and I closed our small shop and started a new establishment which we named “Beach Fales” (huts). We must say that this took a lot of hard work and effort from us and our children, cleaning and building the open beach fales.
Previously, the locals had used this space as a waste management area, this is how we found it.
When the building of the huts began, it didn’t matter what the weather was, rain, storm or shine we worked through it determined to achieve our goal.
We had a dual vision. One was to host and cater for visitors especially tourists from abroad. We wanted to provide accommodation for them to enjoy a night or two by the waters of Lalomanu and to enjoy the beautiful scenic views from the beach.
Our second vision was more of a dream to make this an investment for the future of our children, family and to help support our church and village community.
Having a vision gave us the drive and motivation to persevere through the difficult stages of establishment. Sometimes this meant sleeping under a small cave instead of a comfortable bed. As we continued to clean out this area, b we came across a medium sized rock which was lying above a hidden cave. We turned this into a kitchen area as well as our sleeping quarters. We cooked our meals right at the edge of it and before dark we covered it with sand and had a sheet hanging from the top to shield us from the mosquitoes at night. At the time we thought this was a great way to start. It added a unique feeling and fascination to our new adventure!
We believed then and now more so than ever that “where there is a will, there is a way”. From our small and difficult beginnings to where we are now, we are truly thankful to Our Heavenly Father for helping us and our family. We believe without a doubt that “Nothing is impossible with God”
We now have 16 enclosed beach bungalows with verandas, beach bar and a restaurant. As you pass through our establishment, we hope you will share in our family values of love, care and respect for people, in which our foundations are built upon. Our faith in the Lord has grown stronger throughout the years as we believe that “God has turned Sand into Gold!”

Our beloved parents have since gained their angel wings and are watching over our family, as we, their children and grandchildren handle the running and management of their legacy.

The Rebuild

In September of 2009, our little paradise was hit by a devastating Tsunami, wiping out our parents years of hard work and dedication.

It was through the generosity and contributions of our dear guests who are an extension of our family, that we were able to re-build our paradise, giving our guests a chance to return to our little island and for new visitors to enjoy in the beauty of Lalomanu.
